As I said, all the best dungeons.

Fran Frachilla was on w the MSG guys which now includes John Wallace. There was an interesting hoops conversation.

Here’s the link

Interesting. 

Edwards a linebacker in a point guard's body did he say? 

Hmmmm. 

And LaMelo sounds like the second coming og a taller Elfrid. 

Fran like the French PG.

Buyer's remorse after Frank? 

If we are in the top 3?

Jeez.

Obi sounds nice.

Lottery in August.

Draft in October. 

Yikes.

Okongwu can do most all the Obi stuff & also is a defensive savant.

Wiseman vs. Okongwu comes down to whether you’d rather have 3” extra inches height and reach or a top 3 basketball mind for a guy at the position.

As for guys who’d crack top 3 at the position on our roster on day one, these are the ones I see in this draft

Bigs: Okongwu Wiseman Otoru Carey

Stretches: Advija Tille Toppin Achiuwa

Wings: Vassell S.Bey Okoro Nesmith

Guards: Ball Hayes Haliburton

I'm becoming sold on Okongwu.  Could be a real two-way force and would mean the end of Randle.  A Bam type.

Since we already have Mitch, we don't need a C like WiseMan.
And I dislike guys like Obi who don't defend.

• really poor closeouts; terrible balance & minimal effort
• subpar hips; reacts to the first move and can't recover
• bites on every pump fake; fancies himself as big time shot blocker

we'll pass, thanks....

I assume the's Obi.

I have the same impression.
We're such a poor defensive team already.

Could Toppin's flaws be hidden by Mitch?  probably asking too much.
Might as well just keep Randle if we're okay with a scoring PF who is weak on D.
As with Julius, Toppin also seems to be a one position player.

I guess it depends our draft slot and who's left on the board.
A guy who has a fair amount of Amare in him isn't bad down around 8th.
But hopefully we do better.
Get an outside shooting G, a two-way player, or a 3&D guy.

For Toppin think somewhere between Portis and post injury STAT. He’s definitely someone who will find a role in the league, but I don’t think that’s what we want to achieve with our lotto pick. Floor is probably Derek Williams or Jabari Parker.

A looooong wait. Also a unique opportunity for these kinds in the draft to try and improve their stock with private workouts and the like.  Maybe some can play a little bit overseas so more tape can be reviewed?

Great to see many going back to school

Future drafts need more upperclassmen.

Not too many overseas leagues playing.
And would they want to bring in Americans, who got the virus later, had hugely failed leadership and are more risk than elsewhere?

I'm in touch with a handful of the old Bowery Boys. 

Nagel's health has always been a bit dicey, but he is cool, as is EMann. 

So are MisterEarl and Miras.

Reconnected recently with FWK off of Elba. 

Don't actually have any recollections of the other two. 

From time to time I ponder the journey of ClipperJane from way back in the day.  Hope she is well. 

As for our present Band Of Brothers & Others, at the point when we can read one of Pharoah's in depth break downs we will know that a semblance of something vaguely resembling normalcy has returned. 

Was just thinking about the first encounter between the National League and the upstart American League back in 1903...and here we are two weeks from the first day of summer, and no baseball. 

Even during WWI and WWII there was baseball. 

Anyway, hope all of you and yours are safe and well...as a large asteroid passes within grinning distance of our Planet.
